Spandau Citadel is considered one of best preserved Renaissance fortresses in Europe. Until 1945 it was always used for military purposes, during the NS era as a laboratory complex for chemical weapons. Today, the citadel is a cultural and historical island with artist studios, event locations and eight exhibition buildings where archaeology, history and contemporary art can be seen.
